Buying organic food is an investment in your health because it is pesticide and chemical free. So we would promote organic food in the name of healthy eating.

If you cannot afford organic food or it is difficult to obtain, always wash your vegetables and fruit in a solution of one part vinegar to twelve parts water in order to reduce the pesticides or chemicals in the food. Then rinse under the cold water tap to remove the vinegar 'odour' and place in the refrigerator to keep cool.
